My ER Patients
Remember when I mentioned the book yesterday on WWII I was reading ? Well, just so happens that I had 2 (not 1, but 2) WWII veterans for patients last night at work at the same time! The first guy told me how he was army, and missed the invasion of mainland Japan by one week via an administrative glitch. The second gentleman related his story: the Japanese navy surrounded his army transport ship and he was captured and held prisoner for 4 years! I told both guys how much I appreciated them for their service to our country, and I tried to be a great RN for the few hours they were in my care.
